Only an idiot would go around poking people in the eye, but Obama seems to take some perverse pleasure in it, possibly because he thinks he can get away with it. But Obama isn’t poking just one person, or a few people in the eye, he’s poking an entire nation in the eye. He must think that surrounding himself with radicals and a duped Congress allows him to fundamentally transform a nation in a direction they not only don’t want to go, but have no intentions of going.

Consumer confidence is terrible; citizen confidence is worse: Only 11 percent of Americans have confidence in Congress. No surprise there is record-setting anti-incumbency anger rampant among Americans. But the sad truth is damned if you do and damned if you don’t vote for incumbents.

The problem is that the reformers, populist outsiders, tea party candidates, surprise primary winners and others expecting to oust incumbents in the coming mid-term elections for members of Congress and state governors and other officials mostly suck.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950′s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce.  I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Hmmmmmm! We had Gen(eration) ‘X’, now ‘Y’, and pretty soon ‘Z’ (for Zero). I guees that after that, life on this planet as we know it – will be kaput! (Ed.)

They are perhaps the best-educated generation ever, but they can’t find jobs. Many face staggering college loans and have moved back in with their parents. Even worse, their difficulty in getting careers launched could set them back financially for years.
